Oregon Courts Not Bound by
Decision in Seattle In
sanity Trial. '
WOMEN TO BE DEPORTED
Judge Frater Makes Order From
Which Prosecuting Attorney
Threatens to Appeal Demands
That They Be Tried.
SEATTLE. Sept. 21. Superior Judge
Frater this morning: ordered Esther
Mitchell and Maud Hurt Creffleld,
charged with murder in the first de
gree for the killing: of George Mitch
ell, deported to Oregon by the Sheriff.
The order of the court was made upon
the report of the Insanity Commission
that both women were insane. The
Sheriff is directed to turn the women
over to the Superintendent of the Ore
gon Insane Asylum.
Prosecuting Attorney Mackintosh,
through his chief deputy, denounced
the Insanity Commission and demanded
that the women be tried. Judge Fra
ter, however, struck their cases from
the trial calendar. Prosecuting Attor
ney Mackintosh said he would apply
to the Supreme Court for a writ of
prohibition, preventing the deportation
of the women.
The women are being deported under
a statute passed by the last Legislature
providing that insane persons, who are
not legal residents of the state, may
be taken by the Sheriff to the place
from whence they came.
Are Likely to Go Free.
The Superintendent of the Oregon
Insane Asylum cannot confine the wom
en without a legal order from the Ore
gon courts. This will necessitate a
hearing in Oregon. The women, if
found sane in Oregon, will have to be
liberated.
This does not alter the fact that un
less the Prosecuting Attorney's office
Is successful in securing from the
State Supreme Court within a few days
a writ of prohibition preventing Judge
Frater from taking action, Mrs. Maud
Creffleld and Esther Mitchell will be
deported.
Despite Mr. Miller's strenuous opposi
tion to the proposed move and his state
ments regarding the action of the" com
mission in finding the women Insane,
Judge Frater declares that he believes
the commission is right in its decision;
that there has been no unfairness in the
hearing, and that the findings of the phy
sicians are true. He said, however, that
he would hold the women in the County
Jail here and delay the signing of the
commitments until the Attorney's office
can have an opportunity to perfect the
appeal, and, if possible, secure the writ
which it is declared may be asked for.
Miller Attacks Jndge Frater.
In his remarks to the court this morn
ing, wherein he denounced Jhe commission
as having determined its report at the"
close of the first day's hearing, Mr. Miller
said that the court had not followed the
usual legal procedure and that sessions
were held during which no one knew of
testimony that was received.
Following this Judge Frater declared he
was satisfied with the report and that he
was also willing to stand on his own ac
tions. He declared he would send the
women to Oregon if not stopped by the
Supreme Court, but that he would allow
the Prosecuting Attorney's office to take
the matter up if it is desirous of testing
the law and the powers of the court in
such matters.
He refused a hearing to the attorneys
for the defense, but later they took ex
ception to many of the statements made
by Mr. Miller and declared that at all
times the attorneys had been given the
right to take any part in the hearing they
desired, a thing that the prosecutor de
clared had been denied. The attorney for
Mrs. Creffleld also said that while he
would make no definite statement at this
time, he believed that if any writ would
lie it would be one preventing the state
from trying In a criminal court any per
sons found insane by a commission ap
pointed by the court.
Are Plainly Paranolacs.
Tonight one of the members of the com
mission declared that one of the many
authorities upon which the commission
based its findings presents descriptions of
the disease' known as paranoia which
seems to tally with the cases in question
so closely as to make it appear that the
subjects in question might have been
those under discussion In the work.
Up to this time Prosecuting Attorney
Macintosh has made no definite formal
statement to the court as to his intentions
of applying to the Supreme Court for a
writ of prohibition, but the attorneys for
the defense declare that they do not think
he will take this action. However, they
say in case he does .they are ready to
tight the proceeding, and are positive
they will be able to land the women
across the boundary line within a very
short time. .

SOLVES PROBLEM AT TACOMA
TJnlon Pacific May Come In Over
New Interurban Grade.
TACOMA. Wash., Sept. 21. (Special.)
That the proposition of the Tacoma Rail
way & Power Company to build an inter
urban road between Tacoma and Orting.
by way of Puyallup and Sumner, is in
reality a move of the Union Pacific to
get into Tacoma by a water grade, is
the belief of some of the big real estate
dealers of Tacoma. Stone & Webster own
a right-of-way 100 feet wide between
Electron and Seattle, by way of Orting,
Sumner and Bluffs. It is known that the
Union Pacific has surveyed a route from
the south to a point near Electron, and
that it has not come beyond that place.
It has surveyed no line between Ta
coma and Seattle, which is urged as a
reason to believe that It has already
secured a route into the Elliott Bay
city. All the company needs to do, to
get Into Tacoma. is to secure a right-of-way
between Sumner, Puyallup and Ta
coma, down the Puyallup Valley.

SEA WOLVES
CAUGHT
Notorious Whaling Captains
Under Arrest in Far North.
GRAVE CRIMES CHARGED
William Newt Held for Debauching
Eskimo Girls, Bodfish for Mur
der Relief Steamer Harold
Dollar Brings News.
SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 21. (Special.)
The steamer Harold Dollar, Captain
Thuring, sent from San Francisco to the
relief of the whalers caught in the ice
at Point Barrow and elsewhere In the
Arctic last Winter, returned to Seattle
tonight with 15 members of the crews of
several of the whalers and the crew,
numbering 30, of the steam whaler Alex
andra, wrecked at Cape Peary. The
Alexandra went ashore in a fog and was
a total loss. None of her crew was lost
In the wreck,' but the third mate died a
few days before the disaster. The loss
of the Alexandra was briefly reported
from Nome some time ago.
All returned whalers say that the
stories that they were short of provisions,
or that there was any injudicious barter
ing of food by the officers, are unfound
ed. They were fairly comfortable during
the Winter. '
The report Is brought down by the
Dollar that the revenue cutter Thetis
has Captured the notorious Captain Wil
liam Newt, of the steam whaler Jeanette.
Newt and Captain Bodfish, of the whaler
William Bayliss, were taken by the The
tis to Teller, where a story' was current
that they would be tried in San Fran
cisco. Captain Bodfish is accused of the
murder of a sailor named Edwards on
the- trip north from San Francisco.
Newt Notorious In North.
Newt is the most notorious of all the
Behring Sea whaling captains. His men
raided Indian villages, plying the men
with liquor until frightful orgies ensued,
then carrying oft the girls and young
women to the ship for immoral purposes.
Twice Newt has been captured, and early
in the year he made a sensational escape
from the Marshal at Nome. It Is de
clared that it was unsafe to take Newt
to Nome for fear of lynching.
Charges of brutality and insufficient
feeding are mada against Captain Thurs
ton and also against Captain Jonn Cook,
master of the Beluga.
The Dollar encountered the fleet and de
livered her coal and provisions at Point
Barrow. She reached there the latter
part of August. Her officers say" that the
crew of the wrecked whaler AlexaVider
were living ashore in the whaling station,
at which they had arrived only a few
days before. The 15 sick men had also
been put ashore. Some of the men are
scarcely able to walk and are suffering
from various diseases, consumption being
the most prevalent.
As soon as the fleet had received their
supplies and discharged part of their"
whalebone into the hold of the Dollar,
they started for what is known as the
Westward whaling grounds. The fleet left
Herschel Island as soon as the ice broke
last Summer.
The fleet, with the exception of the
whaler Jan'ette, Is to return this season,
unless they are caught by the ice, which
was reported to be fast closing in when
the Dollar left. Twelve of the whalers
are still In the north. They are the Nor
wal. Beluga, Janette, Alexander
(wrecked), Bayliss, Carluck, Thraupe,
Herman, Monterey, Belvedere, Bowhead
and Olga. The whalers state that the
catch of the entire fleet amounts to 62
whales.
The Dollar brought whalebone valued
st W60.0CO, which had been loaded on her
from the different ships.
IN OPEN BOAT ON ARCTIC SEA.
Survivors of AVrecked Whaler Tell
v.
of Harrowing Privations.
SEATTLE, Sept. 22. Thirty-one of the
crew of the wrecked whaler Alexander,
arrived here last night on the steamer
Harold Dollar. The crew tells a story of
wonderful hardship and sufferiig, be
ing 13 days in an open boat and living on
whale blubber during the entire time.
The Alexander was wrecked during a
fog at Cape Terry, near Banksland, on
August 12. The ship sank almost imme
diately and the crew had to take to the
boats with very scanty preparations.
When they were jDicked up by the' whaler
Herman, the men were almost dead and
the greatest care only saved them. The
Herman took them to Point Barrow,
where the Dollar picked them up and
brought them to this city.
Only men of the strongest physical
powers could have survived the terrible
Bufferings that the men endured.

mend so reliable a preparation as Doan's

"Since the year 1894 I have been
troubled with a very bad case of
eczema which I have spent hundreds
of dollars trying
to cure, and I went
to the hospital,
but they failed to
cure me and it
was getting worse
all the time. Five
weeks ago my wife
bought a box of
Cuticura Oint

cake of Cuticura
Roan, and I am t
pleased to say that I am now completely
cured and well.
"It was impossible for me to get
employment, as my face, head, and
body were covered with It. The
eczema first appeared on the top of
my head, and it had worked all tha
way around down the back of my neck
and around to my throat, down my
body- and around the hips. Ii itched
so I would be obliged to scratch it,
and the flesh was raw.
"I would first wash the affected
Earts with warm water and Cuticura
oap, and then apply Cuticura Oint
ment and let it remain on all night, and
in the morning I would use Cuticura
Soap. I am now all well, which all
